JAVA_HOME NOT SET WHEN INSTALL Storm

Question

I want to install Storm in my own machine(Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) and I follow the instructions in

    https://github.com/nathanmarz/storm/wiki/Installing-native-dependencies.

When I installing jzmq, I firstly successfully perform the command

    sudo ./autogen.sh

however, when I perform

    sudo ./configure

The configuration error:

    'configure: error: the JAVA_HOME environment variable must be set to your JDK location.' 

appears.

I have set the JAVA_HOME using

    sudo gedit /etc/profile
    export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_35
    export JRE_HOME=.....
    export CLASSPATH=......
    source /etc/profile

and the output of

    echo $JAVA_HOME

is

    '/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_35'.

I do not know why the error happens, anyone knows it? Thanks a lot.

Hit the same issue among others while installing JZMQ as part of Storm 0.82 install a couple of months back. Solved this problem by doing exactly what you outlined above. There were some other gotchas for JZMQ. Copying my INSTALL steps and hopefully they'll be useful.

NOTE: OPENJDK 6 Required! 
- sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk
- export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64

      - (automake was already installed)
    - sudo ./autogen.sh
    - **Edit ./configure file to add "export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64"**
    - sudo ./configure
    - cd src

    - cd ..
    - sudo make
    - sudo make install

############################################################################### Here I give my way to solve the problem:

1. Open configure in jzmq folder

   sudo gedit configure
   

2. Find codes bellow:

   # Check for JDK
   if test "x$JAVA_HOME" = "x"; then
       as_fn_error $? "the JAVA_HOME environment variable must be set to your JDK location." "$LINENO" 5;
   fi
   

3. set JAVA_HOME here:

   # Check for JDK
   export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jdk1.6.0_35
   echo $JAVA_HOME
   if test "x$JAVA_HOME" = "x"; then
       as_fn_error $? "the JAVA_HOME environment variable must be set to your JDK location." "$LINENO" 5;
   fi
   

4. This method can solve my problem, maybe it is useful for you.
